McSally reelected.

Great timeline, but I sure hope this doesn't happen .

[badgate]

Wasn't Breyer going to resign

[badgate]

Surprised Julian Castro didn't quit sooner to run in TX in 2018

That's too bad about NE-2, but to be expected with Ashford. We need Festersen in that seat to hold it.

NV-1: In a very Democratic district that is only growing more so, 38-year old State Senator Ruben Kihuen is elected as the next Congressman from this district.

Woo!!!!!

[badgate]

Joe Biden died?! I'm quitting this tl

[badgate]

Woo! No problem. I'll try to post a new map for every ten states or so if that's okay.

KingSweden, I think the electoral count you've been using for Clinton's total is off by 2. The Map calculator is telling me that she's at 158. Perhaps you weren't counting the two Maine congressional districts' electoral votes?


Presidential

158-75

Senate

By my count Democrats are (+1) with the senate results.

70% shading = Incumbent reelected
50% shading = Result of an open seat (regardless of which party wins or held the seat before)
30% shading = Incumbent defeated
Green = Results pending upon runoff

[badgate]

Does Clinton get over or under 50% in NE-2?

[badgate]

Presidential

President Hillary Clinton - 231
Indiana Governor Mike Pence - 105

Senate

Democrats are (+2) in Senate results, with two seats headed to a runoff.

[badgate]

Inb4 Clinton loses Colorado because we all know Coloradans hate her.

Maybe Pence will win CO by riding Senator Gardner's coattails.

President Hillary Clinton - 231

Here are the most recent maps, to help us get back on track and because they were buried by the haters.

Just curious, what Texas state senate seat did you have Republicans gaining in 2016 and losing in 2020?

You know, I really haven't gotten too deep into which leg seats flip. Way too much detail, even for me. I figure maybe one of the long-timers up in '16 retires and Dems have a recruiting flop. SD 21 or 26 seem the most GOP-friendly out of any of the remaining D seats, just at a cursory glance, but I know little about Texas politics.

That's cool, I just wondered if you had gone that deep or not.

Presidential

280-166

Senate

D+4

Presidential

358-180

Senate

30% - Incumbent defeated
50% - Result of open election
70% - Incumbent reelected
D+4

Here are maps I made of the results:


Senate

Governor

For both maps:

30% shading = incumbent defeated
50% shading = result of open seat
70% shading = incumbent reelected
Yellow = advancing to runoff

Great Ohio update!

Querstion: when you do the Texas map, will you be able to provide close-ups of DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso? Basically all the metro areas where you need to zoom in to see the districts.

Here's the Senate map:

It's looking like quite a Republican night, with the GOP having won four open seats and defeating two incumbent Democrats.

[badgate]

Governor map:

We have on our hands a medium size Republican wave imo

[badgate]

Wow! Amazing and very interesting DFW districts. excited for the update
